Pros:
The location of this AirBnB in Thonglor is good - It’s a wealthier and nicer area and this AirBnB is on the main street. The view from the apartment is beautiful. There is also a nice pool and a small gym.
Cons:
The place doesn’t look like the pictures - when I walked in the room, it was immediately apparent. The pictures look phenomenal, but I don’t get the same feel inside. There are deep and plentiful scratches all along the wooden floor and the chairs and sofa still have plastic wrapping around the legs. The bedding is some of the worst I’ve ever had in an AirBnB. The bed itself is okay, but the single blanket and not so good pillows lower the value of this place. I get the feeling that they bought the unit, then rushed to place it on Airbnb without putting any care into it.
The company who owns this place will treat you like a customer. Most AirBnB’s I stay in, they go out of their way to be helpful or if it’s owned by an individual they make me feel like they care. This company will not go out of their way to make your stay any easier. My experience/story for this: The microwave wasn’t working on day one when I moved in of my month stay. I reached out to them and they said they will send someone in 5 days to pick it up. After messages back and forth, I grab the microwave from the room and bring it downstairs to a repair man (I was told I would get the microwave back in 5-7 more days). I asked them if there is anything they can do so that I can have a working microwave sooner than that. They responded, “we’ll do the best we can do.” After two more weeks (one week longer then when they said I’d have it back), I message the company owning the Airbnb asking if the microwave has been fixed yet. They then tell me to keep my phone close by as the repairman will come the next day and I’ll need to be at the unit to walk down and pick up the microwave from him. So after a total of 3 weeks, I finally have a working microwave for my final week of stay at this Airbnb.
You can hear all the sounds from the hallway, as if they echo into your room. There is a neighbor who around 3-6am will leave and go back into their apartment constantly slamming the door. This happened on various occasions during my month stay.
